The big fossil energy corporations keep telling us we have no choice and simply must keep destroying communities(with mountaintop coal mining), spewing pollution and causing 10’s-of-1000’s of illnesses and deaths in the US(with mercury, arsenic, ozone, etc., etc.) and endangering the planet with CO2 — and all just to boil some water to make electricity. But it’s a lie… Even in the heart of coal country in WV, they have a vision and want to see a wind-farm on their ridges, rather than dismantling the mountains for coal.
There’s a great new film, “The Last Mountain” which tells this amazing story.
Print release on Tuesday June 7, 2011 at a random time. Edition of 450, $55. A portion of the proceeds will help support the film and some of the activist groups in WV. Image portions based on a reference photograph by J Henry Fair.
